He has been rejected several times now, even though he has done things like add us to his friends list, write a few journal entries so you know he's not a troll, and list celeb gossip as an interest. He would be a really great, low drama member who would contribute frequently with comments and posts. Plus, may I point out that this would be good affirmative action karma -- as a straight man, he DOES represent a minority viewpoint here. Pretty please with a cherry on top?? Thanks in advance!
